Ok, maybe this photos have been published in some of my previous postings, but I’ve decided to group some of the old and some of the new shots into one Set on Flickr called – Vancouver.
In this set I will add photos from various shoots as well as random images of my city Vancouver, BC.
Feel free to explore, comment and contact me if you want to use them commercially.

I drive by this park eveyday, never knew how to get it, and today was a perfect day to explore it.
Weather is amazing this summer and early fall in Vancouver (knock on wood) and today was beautiful as well. +19C (+66F), sunny, not a cloud in the sky (except for beatiful clouds over the mountain peaks)
Here are autumn colors:

When Coreena, co-owner of Loeka – women’s mountain biking clothing manufacturer asked me if I will be interested in doing a shoot for their 2009 catalog, how could I say ‘No’?
I mean in addition to being good friends with Coreena, passion to photography and opportunity for more practice – it’s girls clothing we are talking about. What could be hotter than hot girls riding mountain bikes?
So I accepted invitation and showed up sharp on Sunday morning. Once coffee and Bailey’s was finished we head to the forest. It was pretty nice day, for outdoors, but not so great for photoshoot. Bright sun promised harsh shadows, pressure from 5 girls and expectations – it is product catalog we are shooting.
5 hours later, I’ve had just over 900 photos, all batteries in Nikon flash died, and cold Corona was waiting in the cooler. It took me a while to get those photos processed, as how they always say – “Don’t quit your full time job” But at the end I think there were a photo or two worth going on one of the pages of that catalog, and possibly on Loeka’s website, as well as newly opened online store which sells Loeka’s clothing at promotional prices GirlsGoneMTB Read »

I’ve dedicated separate post for this QTVR (QuickTime Virtual Reality) of Palladium Riviera Resort and Spa I’ve recently visited.
I have dozens of photos to share from this trip, both personal and to be included on my Flickr and here pages, which I will upload in the next couple of days. It was challenging creating this QTVR, as originally it started as regular panorama. 22 images were shot in sequence, but Photoshop rejected to stitch them as I wanted (instead of arranging them as 1-2-3-…-21-22m it arranged them as 20-21-22-1-2-3…-18-19) so I’ve played with Polar coordinates filter and them decided to play with QTVR for the first time. I think result is pretty good. Read »

One of my co-workers has Whistler summer cabin. Me and my family went on weekend trip over back in April 2009.
We spent great time, weather was good and sun was perfect for shooting. Too bad we don’t sky as it was the perfect time to hit the slopes. Most of the nature imahges wre taken behind Fairmont Chateau Whistler hotel.
There were way more photos, but most of them would go on my family MobileMe site. This are the best of those that I can share with public, Enjoy… Read »

On April 12th, our family visited my mother who lives in Cleveland, Ohio. All of us went to The Holden Arboretum. It is beautifull place for outdoor shots.
Even though there were not too many blooming magnolias and flowers, I’ve found what to shoot.
That was the first time I’ve tried unordinary approach to shooting flowers. Instead of shooting from the top, as I usually did, I shot from the same level on the ground. Purely estimating shutter speeds, aperture and point of focus. My D90 does have LiveView, but I never use it. It is way more fun to see what comes out when shot ‘blindly’ and how good you estimated the angle. Read »
